They called it the Realm in Between. A demi-plane that existed just outside of the material realm. A sanctuary for Earth's magically attuned and able creatures. A place where they could live in peace, prosperity, and growth. Here, the magical community created the first college of arcane study, away from the prying eyes of their mundane cousins. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. As the more powerful families created a caste system, discord grew among them. The collective dissolved into petty bickering, in-fighting, and eventually war — as denizens of evil preyed on their weaknesses.

"The Wood Beyond the World" is a fantasy novel by William Morris, perhaps the first modern fantasy writer to unite an imaginary world with the element of the supernatural, and thus the precursor of much of present day fantasy literature. It was first published in hardcover by Morris' Kelmscott Press in 1894.
